Chancellor's Master of Science in Management (Online)
The Chancellors’ Master of Science in Management is offered 100% online collaboratively by the IU East, IU Kokomo, IU Northwest, and IU Southeast campuses. Degree requirements are fulfilled by taking online classes across these campuses.
The Chancellors’ Master of Science in Management program focuses on the skills required to be a successful manager or leader of an organization in areas such as non-profit, government, healthcare, or for-profit enterprise by building skills in communication, team building, conflict resolution, and negotiation. There are no quantitative courses in this program. Rather, you study leadership, teams, change management, and ethics; and you gain next-level skills in critical thinking and performance improvement.
Tracks in General Management and Human Resources provide more specialized skill-building and professional development. Foundational courses focus on topics such as leadership, managing teams, business communication, conflict management, business ethics and change management. Students without an undergraduate business degree can earn an M.S. in Management degree in just one year if classes are taken full-time. Students wishing to attend part-time can complete the program in two years or less.
In addition, to better serve the needs of working adults, courses are offered online in an asynchronous format. Graduates from the Master of Science in Management program will be prepared to take on leadership opportunities within their current organization or pivot to a new career.
